It's vital that people understand this thread, because it contains the solution to the climate and ecological crisis. It is the culmination of decades of research and thinking, but I don't know if I will manage to convey the meaning of what has been overlooked. I may fail. 1/🧵

Can we just put the f%&king Sulphur back in the shipping fuels already- at least when at sea. The policy to remove worldwide is creating a termination shock. At least reverse the policy until we figure out a bloody plan to give us a chance. The oceans are being boiled!
